The Hamilton Honor Roll Committee is in the process of validating its list of veterans from the Korean War for Phase II of its overall Honor Roll project. The committee is seeking community input to ensure the accuracy of the list.

Phase I of the project was the World War II Honor Roll, which was completed and is now located in front of Hamilton Town Hall. Phase II involves completing the honor rolls for the Korean and Vietnam wars.

The Honor Roll Committee is taking on the task of completing the lists of men and women who served in the armed forces during the Korean War (June 27, 1950 to Jan. 31, 1955) and the Vietnam War (Feb. 28, 1961 to May 7, 1975). Members are going to finalize the Korean Honor Roll first but will also be seeking community input, possibly in the next few weeks, regarding the list of Vietnam veterans.

The list below contains the names of 97 Korean veterans. All of these veterans entered the service from Hamilton, were in during the dates reflected above and received an honorable discharge or a general discharge under honorable conditions.

The Honor Roll Committee is asking the community to review the list and call its members (contact information is below) if you, or someone you know, meets the criteria above and does not appear on the list, if a name is misspelled or an initial or suffix is missing, or if a name on the list should not be there.
